snippet:

"The March 2012 issue of Men’s Fitness includes the magazine’s first “America’s Fattest Cities” survey since 2009, and yes … Houston, we have a problem. (We hate that cliché, too, but Men’s Fitness itself already claimed the stock “everything’s bigger” joke.)

As Nate Millard’s feature (which is not yet available online) began:

We’ll spare you the predictable Texas-size jokes, but one thing Houston seems to maintain - and expand yearly - is the circumference of its collective paunch…

…according to the (Center for Disease Control) a whopping 34% of H-Town residents are overweight. In previous surveys, we’d claimed Houston was on the upswing in the weight-loss department, but there’s evidently been a bit of a regression since we last checked in.

Indeed, Houston had hovered around fifth or sixth between 2004 and 2009, after famously topping the magazine’s list for three straight years from 2001 to 2003."
